In this explosive Hidden Killers feature, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dissect the most dangerous phrase in American child-protection law: “imminent danger.” It's the loophole that leaves families powerless, law enforcement stalled, and children unprotected until tragedy strikes. The Melodee Buzzard case exposes how a slow-moving legal standard allowed a crisis to become a disappearance — even as every red flag was documented in real time. Shavaun reveals how mental-health systems confuse autonomy with safety, how judges hesitate to intervene without physical harm, and how this outdated framework turns compassion into catastrophe. Tony drives the hard questions: Why didn't anyone step in when relatives begged for help? Why was a missing school record not enough? Why did it take a felony charge to get attention? Together they offer real, actionable solutions — from mobile crisis co-response units to pattern-based legal triggers — that balance civil rights with child safety. This isn't just commentary; it's a call for reform. Because if we keep waiting for proof of danger, we'll keep finding it too late. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #TrueCrime #MentalHealthReform #ChildWelfare #SystemicFailure #JusticeForMelodee Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is the story that will make you furious — because every step of it was predictable. In this Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examine the disturbing mental unraveling that led to the disappearance of Melodee Buzzard. From the first red flags — school absence, social isolation, and erratic behavior — to the alarming road trip with wigs, fake plates, and a child who never returned, every sign pointed toward a crisis in plain sight. Yet, the law did nothing. The threshold for “imminent danger” demanded proof of harm — even as danger screamed from every corner. Shavaun explains how a person in psychological free-fall can appear “functional” enough to evade intervention, and why families who report warning signs are so often dismissed as overreacting. The false-imprisonment charge that followed weeks later — multiple locks, a box cutter, and an accusation of “violence, menace, fraud, and deceit” — reads like a postscript to the same nightmare. Tony and Shavaun break down not just what went wrong, but how to fix it — legally, clinically, and emotionally — so another family doesn't have to live this horror in real time. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #TrueCrimePodcast #ChildProtection #MentalHealthCrisis #FamilyFailure #BrokenSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this harrowing Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to unpack one of the most haunting modern tragedies — the disappearance of nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard and the slow, visible mental collapse of her mother, Ashlee Buzzard. Every warning was there: relatives cut off, a child missing from school rolls, no homeschool paperwork, a home in disarray. Then came the wigs, a license-plate swap, a multi-state trip — and a mother returning without her daughter. Weeks later, an alleged false-imprisonment incident involving multiple locks and a box cutter confirmed the nightmare. Through a clinical and human lens, Shavaun exposes how “the system worked exactly as designed — and that's the problem.” Families are handcuffed by “imminent danger” laws that demand proof before help, while crises spiral into tragedy. Tony and Shavaun break down how to recognize delusion, how to act before it's too late, and how the laws meant to protect privacy are now costing lives. This is a deep, emotional exploration of failure — and what must change before another Melodee disappears. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #TrueCrime #ChildSafety #MentalHealthCrisis #BrokenSystem #JusticeForMelodee Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when two teenage survivors watch the court set their attacker free? In the case of Jesse Mack Butler, charged with eleven felonies — including rape, strangulation, and assault — the answer is unthinkable: one year of supervision, zero prison time, and a wiped record. In this powerful interview, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott break down the psychology of protection — from parental denial to systemic apathy. They explore how communities normalize violence, how judges mistake privilege for potential, and how survivors carry the trauma of a system that refused to protect them. This isn't about one case — it's about what happens when justice becomes an accomplice. #HiddenKillersPodcast #JesseButlerCase #JusticeFailed #PsychologicalAnalysis #ShavaunScott #SurvivorVoices #TraumaInformed #TrueCrimeCommentary #HiddenKillersLive #SystemicInjustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two 16-year-old girls were attacked. One was choked unconscious. One nearly died. The evidence was undeniable — partial phone video, medical proof, and multiple felony charges. Yet the court said: “He deserves another chance.” Why? Because he was a “good kid.” Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore the disturbing cultural conditioning that keeps excusing violent young men — and the devastating psychological toll that leniency takes on survivors. They dive deep into the psychology of denial, family image-protection, and the small-town empathy that shields offenders instead of victims. This isn't a courtroom story — it's a cultural mirror. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #JesseButler #GoodKidNarrative #PsychologyOfDenial #TraumaRecovery #JusticeSystem #ShavaunScott #VictimAdvocacy #PatriarchalPrivilege Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How does someone charged with eleven felonies — including rape and strangulation — walk away with a single year of supervision? In Stillwater, Oklahoma, 17-year-old Jesse Mack Butler attacked two teenage girls so brutally one nearly died. Police had video evidence. Doctors confirmed near-fatal injuries. Yet the court called it “rehabilitation.” In this episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott unpack the psychology of protection — the denial, privilege, and misplaced empathy that let predators slip through the cracks. From family complicity to small-town bias, this is a case study in how justice fails survivors — and what it says about our collective moral blindness.

When Ajike Owens was killed through a closed door, her four children lost their mother — and a nation faced the consequences of unchecked paranoia. In this exclusive episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels to dissect the mental chain reaction behind that fatal moment. Scott explores how chronic resentment, fear scripting, and entitlement converge in what she calls “justified aggression”—the mind's way of excusing harm under the guise of self-protection. She breaks down how fear, when reinforced over years, becomes not a response but an identity. The discussion turns toward healing: what happens to children who witness or lose parents to violence, what recovery actually looks like, and how society can stop mistaking grievance for danger. This is not just analysis — it's a human reckoning with how far distorted thinking can go when no one intervenes. #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillersPodcast #ThePerfectNeighbor #AjikeOwens #SusanLorincz #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeToday #PsychologyOfFear #TraumaRecovery #FearVsAccountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels to unpack the warped psychology behind The Perfect Neighbor case — where “fear” became justification for a killing. For two years, Susan Lorincz saw danger in ordinary life: neighborhood kids, laughter, noise. That chronic hyper-vigilance — mixed with grievance and entitlement — built a narrative that only she believed. Scott explores how paranoia and cognitive distortion feed on isolation, turning imagined threat into moral crusade. From micro-aggressions to the myth of the “good citizen,” this interview asks what happens when anxiety weaponizes itself and empathy disappears. Scott also offers trauma-informed insights for the secondary victims — Ajike Owens' children — and explains how communities can recognize early warning signs before another tragedy repeats. #ThePerfectNeighbor #ShavaunScott #AjikeOwens #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeAnalysis #FearVsReality #TraumaPsychology #BehavioralHealth #StandYourGround Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A mother is dead. A neighbor claims fear. But what really drove Susan Lorincz to pull the trigger through a closed door? In this exclusive conversation, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski. Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels to dissect the psychology behind The Perfect Neighbor case — where paranoia, entitlement, and grievance collided in one deadly moment. Scott unpacks the behavioral descent that transforms everyday irritation into lethal certainty. Was Lorincz truly afraid, or was “fear” the mask for long-nurtured anger? From chronic irritability and confirmation bias to the self-righteous delusion of being “under siege,” Scott breaks down the cognitive distortions that rewrite reality until violence feels justified. Together, they examine how “stand-your-ground” culture, racialized fear, and emotional dysregulation converge — and what this case reveals about the American obsession with safety at all costs. This isn't just a crime story; it's a psychological autopsy of modern paranoia. #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers #ThePerfectNeighbor #AjikeOwens #SusanLorincz #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #PsychologyOfFear #StandYourGround #BehavioralAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two crimes. Two young lives. Two moments of sheer panic that turned fatal. A musician whose Tesla held the body of a missing 15-year-old. A college cheerleader who hid her newborn in a closet, then went out for fast food. In this extended Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dissect the chilling psychology behind both the D4vd / Celeste Rivas Hernandez and Laken Snelling cases — revealing how fear, shame, and an underdeveloped brain can twist reality into delusion. Why do young people believe they can hide what can't be hidden? What happens in the mind when panic flips the switch from reason to denial? And what does neuroscience tell us about the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that's supposed to see the bigger picture — simply not being ready yet? This isn't about monsters. It's about immaturity, fear, and the illusion of control. It's about how a single impulsive act — followed by a catastrophic cover-up — can change everything. Raw, honest, and psychologically deep, this episode shows that the scariest thing about these crimes isn't the violence. It's how human the decisions behind them really are. #HiddenKillers #D4vd #LakenSnelling #TrueCrime #PsychologyOfCrime #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #ImpulseControl #BrainDevelopment #FearAndDenial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When 21-year-old University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling gave birth alone in her apartment, what happened next stunned investigators. She wrapped her newborn in a towel, placed the body in a trash bag inside her closet — and then, according to court documents, ordered McDonald's through an app and tried to go about her day. This episode digs into that impossible contradiction: how someone can experience the most traumatic moment of their life and immediately act as though nothing happened. Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explore the psychological mechanics of shock, shame, and denial — and why the young brain, overwhelmed by fear and isolation, can make devastating choices it can't comprehend. Is this a story of pure evil? Or of panic, immaturity, and a desperate attempt to keep life “normal” when everything has already collapsed? We'll look at how identity, reputation, and fear of judgment can override rational thought, and why concealment often feels like the only option to a terrified young adult. This isn't a story about excuses — it's about understanding how fear rewires the human mind. #HiddenKillers #LakenSnelling #TrueCrime #PsychologyOfDenial #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #UniversityOfKentucky #ImpulseControl #CrimeAndPsychology #HiddenBirth Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When police found the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to the musician known as D4vd, it didn't just expose a horrifying crime scene — it exposed a psychological collapse. A moment where fear, immaturity, and denial replaced logic. In this episode, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to examine the psychology of impulsive concealment — why young people in crisis make catastrophic, irrational choices that they somehow believe will “fix” the problem. Why would anyone think a body in a frunk wouldn't be found? Why do young adults underestimate consequences, even when the evidence is literally sitting in plain sight? And what does this say about a generation raised on instant validation and social-media performance? This isn't a story about criminal genius. It's about panic. About the under-developed prefrontal cortex that governs judgment and foresight — and how, when terror strikes, it simply shuts down. Together, Tony and Shavaun unpack what neuroscience, fear, and shame can do to the human mind when reality feels too big to face. If you've ever wondered why some people make the worst decisions imaginable under pressure, this conversation will change how you think about crime, youth, and consequence. #HiddenKillers #D4vd #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrimePodcast #PsychologyOfCrime #ImpulsiveCrimes #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #BrainDevelopment #CrimeAndPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It wasn't just Donna Adelson who broke down at sentencing—it was her husband Harvey, too. And in their back-to-back emotional outbursts, we witnessed the unraveling of an entire family narrative that had held for over a decade. In this joint psychological breakdown, Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole are joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to dissect the most emotionally charged—and revealing—moments of both Donna and Harvey's final courtroom statements. Together, we examine: How narcissistic collapse shows up in real time through fractured speech, emotional spirals, and selective memory Why Harvey's grief appears genuine—but is directed toward defending the illusion, not the truth How Donna's use of oaths, denial, and moral inversion reframes her as a victim of the justice system The family system that enabled this collapse—and what happens when loyalty outweighs accountability This is what it sounds like when a legacy built on image can no longer hold the weight of the truth.

Donna Adelson didn't beg for mercy at sentencing—she grabbed the mic and tried to rewrite history. In this raw, emotionally fractured courtroom speech, Donna portrayed herself not as a conspirator—but as a victim. “There are two crimes,” she declared. “The second is taking my life.” Her voice cracked, her story crumbled, and what we witnessed was more than denial—it was psychological collapse playing out live. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect: What narcissistic collapse really looks and sounds like when the façade finally breaks Why Donna's repeated references to her grandchildren, oaths on her life, and attacks on the system reveal more about control than conscience How emotional manipulation works in sentencing statements—and why selective grief is a red flag The psychological toll of living inside a family system built on secrecy, power, and self-preservation This isn't just courtroom drama. It's behavioral dissection.

What happens when a man loses not just his wife—but the version of reality he's built for over 50 years? In this gripping episode, we unpack the emotional, erratic, and deeply revealing courtroom statement of Harvey Adelson, the husband of convicted murderer Donna Adelson. At her sentencing, Harvey took the stand and delivered a passionate defense of his wife—denying all wrongdoing, blaming the justice system, accusing witnesses of lying, and even calling Dan Markel's grieving parents dishonest. But here's the twist: Harvey's grief is real. So is his collapse. And so is his refusal to acknowledge the truth. With psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, we explore: The psychology of enmeshment and why Harvey can't separate Donna's guilt from his own identity Why family loyalty in narcissistic systems becomes more important than the truth How denial, image preservation, and emotional breakdown all show up in real time What it means when someone experiences their spouse's conviction as their own personal execution This is not just a reaction. It's a psychological autopsy of a collapsing dynasty.

It wasn't just Donna Adelson who broke down at sentencing—it was her husband Harvey, too. And in their back-to-back emotional outbursts, we witnessed the unraveling of an entire family narrative that had held for over a decade. In this joint psychological breakdown, Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole are joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to dissect the most emotionally charged—and revealing—moments of both Donna and Harvey's final courtroom statements. Together, we examine: How narcissistic collapse shows up in real time through fractured speech, emotional spirals, and selective memory Why Harvey's grief appears genuine—but is directed toward defending the illusion, not the truth How Donna's use of oaths, denial, and moral inversion reframes her as a victim of the justice system The family system that enabled this collapse—and what happens when loyalty outweighs accountability This is what it sounds like when a legacy built on image can no longer hold the weight of the truth.

This wasn't an outburst. It was, according to prosecutors, a deliberate, public execution. A bolt-action rifle. A rooftop. A single shot aimed at a political figure speaking to a crowd of thousands. Prosecutors say Tyler James Robinson left a note, sent texts, and planned every detail. In this gripping and unsettling episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott unravel the deeper psychology of targeted violence—and how some killers don't just act, they perform. From the alleged planning to the engraving on the bullets, the post-crime concealment, and the so-called “energy burst” of activity right after the shot—this wasn't just about killing. It was about control. Symbolism. Message. In this interview, we explore: How violent actors create their own mythology around the act The psychology of public spectacle and performance-driven violence Why some shooters choose rooftops, long guns, and high-attention moments What happens psychologically after the act: the crash, the clean-up, and the final justification We also examine how obsession, identity, and a need for significance play into the creation of what some perpetrators see as a necessary act of violence. If you've ever wondered what turns someone from angry to armed—and what mental framework allows a person to believe they're righteous in doing so—this is the episode to watch.

The warning signs were there. According to prosecutors, Tyler James Robinson—the man charged in the assassination of Charlie Kirk—left behind a note, sent texts before and after the shooting, and planned the act for over a week. Yet no one stopped it. In this episode of Hidden Killers, host Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and forensic behavioral expert Shavaun Scott to dissect the psychology behind leakage, missed signals, and why families, friends, and institutions continue to fail at catching killers before they act. We're asking the hard questions: Why do people hesitate to report concerning behavior—even when their gut says something's wrong? What language patterns and behavior shifts should raise red flags in friends, classmates, or coworkers? What role does the internet play in radicalizing already isolated individuals? What can schools, campuses, and event organizers realistically do to stop this? This isn't about panic. It's about prevention. Because according to the Secret Service, most mass shooters display obvious warning signs in the days, weeks, and months before they act. This episode pulls back the curtain on the psychology of targeted violence—and why so many communities only connect the dots when it's already too late.

This wasn't a moment of rage. According to prosecutors, it was a calculated, deliberate act: a long gun, a rooftop, and a public figure in the crosshairs. In this powerful and deeply psychological episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist and forensic behavioral expert Shavaun Scott to examine the disturbing case of Tyler James Robinson, the man charged with murdering Charlie Kirk in front of a crowd at Utah Valley University. Authorities allege Robinson left behind a handwritten note, confessed to the act in a text message, and planned the shooting for over a week. Prosecutors are calling it ideologically motivated, and they're seeking the death penalty. But this isn't just about what allegedly happened. It's about how people get there. What makes someone move from grievance to violence? From obsession to execution? From believing in a cause to believing that murder is justified? Together, Tony and Shavaun break down the psychology of targeted violence, including: The mindset behind planned attacks vs. spontaneous rage What the term “leakage” means—and how it shows up in text messages and online behavior Why offenders often see themselves as heroes, protectors, or martyrs The role of digital radicalization, algorithmic echo chambers, and identity reinforcement The symbolism of engraved weapons, public executions, and post-crime behavior What institutions, families, and friends can realistically do to stop the next shooter This interview dives deep into the dark corners of obsession, warning signs, and the narratives people build around violence. It's not about sensationalism—it's about understanding the patterns, so we can finally learn how to stop them. If you've ever asked yourself, “How could no one see this coming?”—this is the conversation you need to hear.

In this interview, we explore: How violent actors create their own mythology around the act The psychology of public spectacle and performance-driven violence Why some shooters choose rooftops, long guns, and high-attention moments What happens psychologically after the act: the crash, the clean-up, and the final justification We also examine how obsession, identity, and a need for significance play into the creation of what some perpetrators see as a necessary act of violence. If you've ever wondered what turns someone from angry to armed—and what mental framework allows a person to believe they're righteous in doing so—this is the episode to watch.

Mental Health Misused, Evidence Destroyed, Questions Ignored | Ellen Greenberg Deep Dive Ellen Greenberg was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 in the back of her neck. And yet, her death was ruled a suicide. How? And more importantly — why? In this deeply psychological and emotionally charged episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to unpack not just the facts of the case, but the emotional truth that's been obscured for over a decade. We start with Ellen's mental state — not just in the days before her death, but over the months of quiet withdrawal that went ignored or misinterpreted. She stopped wearing her engagement ring. She told her parents she wanted to come home. And yet, no one — not friends, not authorities — ever seemed to ask what she might have been retreating from. Then we turn to the psychiatric timeline. Ellen had three sessions with a psychiatrist. No history of suicide attempts. No diagnosed depression. No recorded ideation. And yet that paper-thin narrative — “she was anxious” — became the foundation for an official suicide ruling. We also confront what happened after her death — the reversal from homicide to suicide, the cleaned crime scene, the missing chain of custody, and the devices removed by her fiancé's uncle before detectives could investigate. Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, never pushed back on the suicide narrative. In fact, he reportedly said, “Do you think I killed her?” This case isn't just forensic failure. It's emotional sabotage, institutional betrayal, and a test of whether truth still matters when it's inconvenient. This episode doesn't just question the ruling — it questions the people who accepted it. Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg's fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen's death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

“Do You Think I Killed Her?” Sam Goldberg's Haunting Words About Ellen Greenberg What happens when the system doesn't just fail you — it rewrites the story entirely? In this emotionally raw and deeply insightful episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to discuss the most disturbing layer of the Ellen Greenberg case: the aftermath. After Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 to the back of her neck — the medical examiner originally ruled her death a homicide. But that ruling was quietly reversed after a meeting with police. No new evidence. No second autopsy. Just a narrative pivot that reshaped everything. And because it was ruled a suicide, the apartment wasn't preserved. It was cleaned. Her devices were removed by her fiancé's uncle. Chain of custody was destroyed. Crime scene photos were incomplete. And the investigation? Essentially shut down. In this segment, we explore the psychological impact of institutional betrayal — not just on Ellen's family, but on every family forced to accept a story that doesn't make sense. We also dig into: Why families are often shamed into silence when they challenge suicide rulings What it means when someone close to the victim — like a fiancé — shows no visible grief or curiosity How mental health labels like “anxious” are weaponized to close cases And whether emotional closure is still possible when legal justice never comes Ellen Greenberg's case isn't just a forensic failure — it's a psychological one. And if this is what happens when families ask questions, what does that say about how we treat grief, truth, and the dead? Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg's fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen's death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

From Teacher to Tragedy: Breaking Down Ellen Greenberg's Mental State | Psych Expert Weighs In Was Ellen Greenberg's death the result of a private mental health spiral — or a sign of something far more sinister? In this deeply psychological episode of Hidden Killers Live, we're joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore the emotional and behavioral profile of Ellen Greenberg as portrayed in the new Hulu documentary Death in Apartment 603. We begin not with the crime scene — but with the person. Ellen was a 27-year-old first-grade teacher, beloved by her students and deeply connected to her family and friends. She was newly engaged. Planning a wedding. Dreaming of a family. So how did we go from that… to 20 stab wounds and a suicide ruling? In this episode, we walk through three major psychological layers of the case:

This Changes Everything: What the Ellen Greenberg Doc Just Revealed & What's Next? This case was buried under paperwork, silence, and a suicide label. Until now. In this revealing episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore what the Hulu documentary Death in Apartment 603 has exposed — and what the psychological profile of Ellen Greenberg actually tells us. Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck, and no history of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or major depression. The documentary lays bare what had been kept in the shadows for years — and now, Shavaun helps us walk through the emotional truth behind the evidence. We dig into what this story reveals about: Ellen's emotional withdrawal: Why she suddenly pulled back from her life — and what she may have been signaling The clinical record: Three sessions with a psychiatrist. No ideation. A future she was planning. So how did “anxiety” get weaponized as the reason she's gone? The crime scene: Cleaned within 24 hours. Devices taken before police could retrieve them. A homicide ruling reversed without new evidence. And then we get to the deeper trauma: What happens to a family when the official story doesn't just feel wrong — it is wrong? What happens when the institutions you're supposed to trust look you in the eye and say, “Move on”? This segment doesn't just revisit the case — it reveals why the public was misled, how a suicide narrative was institutionalized, and what it actually takes to dismantle that lie after more than a decade of damage. Watch this episode and ask yourself — what else have we been told to accept that never made psychological sense in the first place? Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg's fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen's death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

The Holocaust Ring Wendy Adelson Refused to Return! Dan Markel Divorce Bombshell Divorce filings can reveal more than testimony ever could. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the spotlight turns to Dan Markel's legal filings against Wendy Adelson — allegations that paint a picture of manipulation, secrecy, and unilateral control. From accusations of hidden accounts and blocked communication, to the shocking claim that Wendy refused to return a Holocaust family ring to Dan's relatives, these filings suggest behavior that went far beyond typical divorce disputes. Tony and Shavaun Scott examine what these allegations reveal about the Adelson family's mindset and how material objects, like the Holocaust ring, can become symbols of dominance in toxic relationships. Listeners are reminded that while these were never adjudicated in court due to Dan's murder, the filings remain powerful indicators of how bitter and destructive the conflict had become. This segment reveals the financial and emotional battleground that formed the backdrop to one of the most notorious true crime cases in recent history.

Were Wendy's Kids Pawns in the Adelson Murder Plot Of Dan Markel? Expert Weighs In When psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the conversation shifts from testimony to analysis — and the insights are chilling. Scott explains how children in families like the Adelsons are often treated not as individuals but as pawns, used to meet the emotional needs of manipulative parents and grandparents. The discussion explores Wendy Adelson's choices through the lens of generational trauma and narcissistic control. Was Wendy repeating the patterns instilled in her by her mother, Donna Adelson? How does such an environment shape children who are caught in the crossfire of divorce, custody disputes, and — ultimately — violence? Blending professional expertise with raw personal reflections from Tony and his co-hosts, this segment delivers a powerful mix of true crime and psychology. Listeners are left with a deeper understanding of not just what happened, but why such destructive family dynamics can persist across generations — and the lasting scars they leave behind.

Inside Wendy Adelson's Explosive Fight With Her Boyfriend Jeff Lacasse Jeff Lacasse's relationship with Wendy Adelson was anything but stable. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners are taken inside a critical fight in Gainesville, where Jeff's suspicions of infidelity and Wendy's manipulative promises collided in a heated argument. From promises that Jeff would soon be “Daddy” to her children, to sudden cold shoulders and disappearing acts, Wendy's behavior painted the portrait of a woman living in contradictions. The hosts analyze what this rollercoaster dynamic says about Wendy's psychological state and the influence of her family. Was she stringing Jeff along to serve a hidden agenda? Was her erratic treatment of him a reflection of deeper turmoil as the Markel case inched toward tragedy? This segment underscores how personal relationships can reveal truths that legal filings alone cannot. Through Jeff's testimony, the audience gains a clearer picture of the chaos and volatility surrounding Wendy Adelson in the final months before Dan Markel's murder — and how even intimate relationships were twisted into the larger web of manipulation.

Big Breakdown: Inside the Aftermath of Charlie Kirks' Murder The assassination of Charlie Kirks has shaken America in a way few acts of political violence have in recent memory. In this Big Breakdown on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the case with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to analyze the evidence, the psychology, and the aftermath. According to prosecutors, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson allegedly acted alone, deciding in just over a week to build his weapon, target Kirks, and carry out the murder. Investigators say he left a handwritten note, later destroyed by his partner, Lance Twigs — though a photographed copy remains central to the case. Add to that a chilling set of text messages where Robinson casually confessed — worrying more about his grandfather's rifle and fingerprints than the fact he had just killed a man — and the picture becomes even darker. Coffindaffer breaks down why these texts matter, how the FBI will scrutinize the destroyed note, and why the “sloppiness” of this crime actually reinforces the lone wolf threat the Bureau has warned about for decades. This wasn't a sophisticated plot with layers of planning — it was impulsive, callous, and terrifyingly easy to pull off. Then, Shavaun Scott joins the conversation to discuss why this assassination feels different for so many Americans. Why does the killing of a controversial but mainstream political commentator resonate across the political spectrum? What does it reveal about polarization, rage culture, and the addictive pull of online outrage? And why are conspiracy theories already flooding the conversation before the investigation is even complete? From the evidence on the ground to the broader cultural fallout, this episode explores both the criminal case against Robinson and the collective anxiety gripping America in the wake of Charlie Kirks' murder.

How Do You Parent After Murder? Wendy Adelson's Children in Crisis What happens to children when their father is murdered, their grandparents are in prison, and suspicion hangs over their mother? In this closing segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the panel and Shavaun Scott tackle the impossible parenting dilemmas at the heart of the Adelson saga. The discussion asks blunt questions: How can Wendy Adelson raise her children under such a cloud of suspicion? How do kids process the reality that their family members conspired to kill their father? And what hope exists for them to break free from the toxic cycles of manipulation and control that seem to define the Adelson legacy? Far from sensational, this conversation is emotionally grounded and painfully honest. Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Shavaun weigh the long-term psychological impacts, the role of therapy, and the possibility of rebuilding identity outside of the Adelson name. It's a sobering close to a story that blends true crime with the deepest questions about love, loyalty, and survival.

Has Wendi Escaped Justice? Or Is She Still Living Under Suspicion? The final segment brings the conversation into the present day. Wendi Adelson's testimony, her relocation battles, and her contradictions in court all take center stage. Tony, Stacy, and Todd review her statements about wanting to move closer to her family, her denial of their role, and her evasive answers about timelines and details. But the discussion goes deeper: what happens to the children caught in the middle of this family nightmare? The Adelson grandchildren have grown up under a cloud of suspicion, cut off from parts of their father's family, and shaped by the toxic loyalty of Donna and Charlie. The psychological scars are undeniable, and the hosts, along with Shavaun, explore how therapy and time might — or might not — heal wounds this deep. This segment also looks at the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Wendi herself. She's never been charged. She may never be. Yet her name remains tied to the Adelson family conspiracy in every headline, every podcast, every courtroom recap. Whether guilty, complicit, or simply unlucky, her life — and the lives of her children — are forever marked. It's a sobering end to an episode full of bizarre twists, chilling insights, and unanswered questions. One thing is clear: the Adelson case isn't done shaping the people at the center of it, and the fallout will last for generations.

If Wendi Adelson DIDN'T Know: Living Under the Shadow Donna Adelson & Murder What if Wendi Adelson didn't know? In this segment, the focus shifts to the other possibility — that Wendi was in the dark but still forced to live with the fallout of her family's deadly choices. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains how trauma, survivor's guilt, and family enmeshment can shape someone's reactions even when they aren't guilty themselves. The discussion dives into the possibility that Wendi suspected her family was capable of terrible things but had no direct knowledge. How do you live when your deepest fears about your family might be true, but you can't prove them? And what happens when the outcome — the relocation she wanted — comes true, but at the cost of a murder she didn't ask for? The segment also looks at the long-term toll of living under constant suspicion. Even if Wendi was innocent, every headline, every courtroom appearance, every whisper ties her closer to a murder conspiracy. The mental burden of that kind of scrutiny can warp anyone's sense of safety and identity. This “what if she didn't know” scenario isn't a free pass — it's a different kind of prison. One built from trauma, fear, and the knowledge that she benefited from a horrific crime whether she wanted to or not.

If Wendi Adelson KNEW: Psychotherapist Breaks Down the Mind Games Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the conversation, bringing a professional lens to the question haunting the case: what if Wendi Adelson actually knew? In this segment, the team explores the psychology of complicity. Could Wendi's scattered interview responses reflect someone who was covering up knowledge of her family's role in Dan Markel's murder? Shavaun explains how people in enmeshed families often compartmentalize, splitting their lives into separate realities. On the outside, Wendi was a respected law professor and mother. But if she knew, privately she may have been carrying the weight of a devastating secret — one that fractured her identity into two halves. The discussion also highlights Donna Adelson's outsized role as a domineering, controlling matriarch. Raised in that environment, Wendi may have lacked the tools to assert independence. If she knew her family was involved, how could she have processed that truth while still functioning in her professional and public life? The conversation paints a chilling picture of how someone could live with knowledge of a horrific crime and still present a polished, even sympathetic, exterior. And it raises the question: if Wendi knew, how much of her behavior was guilt — and how much was survival inside a toxic family system?

Donna Adelson's Appeal EXPOSED + Wendi Adelson's Interrogation — COMPLETE Breakdown! In this Hidden Killers Live special, we dedicate a full two hours to the unraveling of the Adelson family, breaking down Donna Adelson's desperate appeal and Wendi Adelson's unforgettable police interview. From the bizarre revelation that Donna's appeal lawyer operates out of a crematorium to the flimsy legal arguments her team is raising, nothing is off the table. The first half of this deep dive unpacks Donna Adelson's appeal step by step: juror TikTok posts, claims of judicial bias, and arguments about courtroom reactions. With sharp humor and hard analysis, Tony, Stacy, and Todd show how weak and desperate these defenses appear — and why the appeal is unlikely to succeed. Then the spotlight turns to Wendi Adelson. We revisit her initial police interview after the murder of Dan Markel, where her nervous rambling, contradictions, and bizarre tangents paint a disturbing picture. Did she know more than she was saying? Or was she simply overwhelmed? The team dissects every twist in her words, comparing her behavior to the controlling influence of her mother, Donna. Joining the discussion is psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, who offers expert insight into the psychology of the Adelson family. She examines both possibilities: what if Wendi knew, and what if she didn't? From compartmentalization and trauma to toxic family loyalty and control, Shavaun helps us understand the deeper forces that could have shaped Wendi's words and actions. The episode closes with a sobering discussion of the Adelson children — teenagers now — who have grown up under this cloud of murder, conspiracy, and family dysfunction. The psychological damage is clear, and the path forward is uncertain. This is the full 2 hour breakdown — bizarre, chilling, and absolutely riveting. If you've been following the Adelson case, you won't want to miss a minute.

Why We Turn to Conspiracies After Tragedy? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Explains In this final segment, the Hidden Killers Live team unpacks the psychological pull of conspiracy theories following the Charlie Kirk assassination. Shavaun Scott explains why the human brain craves certainty after chaos, and how conspiracy thinking offers both a sense of control and emotional escape. Tony Brueski and his co-hosts reflect on the hopelessness many feel in today's polarized climate, the erosion of problem-solving in leadership, and the psychological cost of living in constant fear. The episode closes with the FBI's press conference, revealing new investigative details — but the focus remains on the psychology of coping, control, and collective anxiety when violence shatters the national psyche.

America Addicted to Rage: Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott on the Kirk Assassination This segment zooms in on the psychology behind America's division. With insight from psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, the panel dissects how social media outrage, tribal thinking, and dopamine-driven rage responses have turned political discourse into psychological warfare. Tony Brueski and co-hosts explore why so many Americans are trapped in “us vs. them” narratives, and how misinformation fuels distorted perceptions that can escalate into violence. Shavaun draws on clinical experience and neuroscience to explain why people become addicted to anger — and how that cycle makes tragedies like the Charlie Kirk assassination feel inevitable.

The Psychology of Shock: Why the Charlie Kirk Assassination Feels Different In this opening segment, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examine why the assassination of Charlie Kirk has triggered such deep emotional shockwaves across the country. From the symbolism of losing a polarizing political figure to the anxiety of watching violence erupt in what should have been a safe, public setting, the team unpacks the psychological destabilization many Americans now feel. Shavaun explains how attacks on leaders can feel like attacks on identity itself, while Tony and the panel reflect on the collective trauma and rising fears of a new wave of political assassinations.

From Jen Soto To Jake Harrow: Why America's Child Protection System is Broken Beyond Repair The final segment of this Hidden Killers Live breakdown brings the conversation to its most haunting point: how could Jake Haro ever be rated “low risk” after nearly killing his first child? Tony Brueski and Shavaun Scott examine the checklist mentality of child protective services and probation programs, where compliance and paperwork are valued over real-world judgment. Shavaun shares a devastating personal case from her career: a young boy she warned was unsafe with his mother, only for the court to ignore her. On the first unsupervised weekend visit, the child was killed in a preventable accident. The discussion reveals how overworked caseworkers, undertrained judges, and overloaded systems consistently push dangerous parents back into homes, leaving children to suffer or die. They highlight the staggering statistic that 50% of child fatalities occur in families already known to CPS, and yet the cycle continues. Tony and Shavaun close with a passionate call for reform, demanding more accountability, better training, and a fundamental shift away from blind faith in rehabilitation toward prioritizing child safety above all else.

Why Did Rebecca Haro Stay With Jake Haro? Trauma Bonds & a Mother's Responsibility In this chilling segment, the spotlight turns to Rebecca Haro, the mother who stood by Jake Haro even after he shattered their daughter's bones and later killed their infant son Emmanuel. Why would someone defend such a man? Why stay loyal when your children's lives are at risk? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains the psychology of trauma bonding and dependent personality disorder, breaking down why some partners remain attached to abusers despite overwhelming evidence of danger. Tony and Stacy weigh Rebecca's moral responsibility to protect her child, while acknowledging that she herself may have been abused, manipulated, and trapped in fear. The panel debates the cycle of hurt people hurting people, asking: does her trauma explain her actions, or excuse them? Should society show compassion, or demand accountability? The conversation expands into a broader discussion about the parenting “switch” — how some people naturally prioritize their children, while others never do. This segment forces viewers to grapple with a tough question: when it comes to protecting children, how much blame belongs to the abuser, and how much to those who enable them? #RebeccaHaro #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #ChildAbuse #TraumaBond #DependentPersonality #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #EmmanuelHarro #SystemFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jake Haro Case: Castration, Competency Tests & Child Safety: Should Society Go Further? What does it mean to have the capacity to parent? In this gripping segment, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott wrestle with the uncomfortable truth: not everyone can or should be raising children. The Haro case sparks a brutally honest conversation about America's obsession with “positive thinking” — the idea that anyone can change if they just try. But when it comes to protecting kids, blind faith is a death sentence. Jake Haro attended parenting classes, checked the required boxes, and was rated “low risk.” Weeks later, his baby was dead. Tony and Shavaun explore the difference between positive thinking and magical thinking, questioning why courts continue to assume abusers can be rehabilitated with a weekend class or compliance checklist. The discussion veers into dystopian territory — competency tests for reproduction, mandatory castration for repeat abusers — but the underlying point is serious: we are giving violent, unfit parents chance after chance, while children pay the price. This segment is provocative, raw, and absolutely necessary. It challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable questions about parental rights, societal responsibility, and whether protecting children should come before protecting the freedom of abusers.

Why Was Jake Haro Free? A Baby's Death That Should Never Have Happened In this powerful segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to examine one of the most heartbreaking cases in recent memory — the death of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro. Prosecutors say Emmanuel's father, Jake Harro, killed him despite the fact that just two years earlier he had fractured the skull, spine, and bones of another infant. Instead of serving prison time, Jake was given probation. That decision allowed him to father more children and ultimately left Emmanuel vulnerable to the same abuse that nearly killed his sister. Emmanuel's death is not just the story of one violent man — it's the story of a system that prioritized rehabilitation over protection, compliance over real safety. Tony and Shavaun dig deep into how judges, child protective services, and probation officers rely on half-hearted checklists and paperwork rather than real assessments of danger. They trace the history of child protection laws in the U.S., from the shocking fact that animals were protected under law before children, to the modern-day failures that leave thousands of kids at risk. This conversation exposes the cracks in a system that too often waits until children are dead or permanently maimed before acting.

Bryan Kohberger's Disturbing Selfies + The Tragic Case of Baby Emmanuel Haro | Hidden Killers Live In this Hidden Killers Live 2-hour special, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dive into two of the most disturbing true crime stories dominating headlines today: the latest revelations about Bryan Kohberger and the tragic death of baby Emmanuel Haro. The first half of the show zeroes in on Kohberger, the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. Newly released photos from his phone reveal a disturbing obsession with himself: endless bathroom selfies, awkward poses, emaciated body shots, and cryptic handwritten notes with dates and codes. The team reacts in real time — dissecting what these images say about Kohberger's narcissism, his need for control, and his possible fixation with numerology. They also explore new reports of Kohberger stalking women at Washington State University — tapping on windows, lurking outside homes, and driving away in his infamous white Elantra. The panel doesn't hold back: they debate predator culture, women's self-defense, how society minimizes red flags until it's too late, and why some people online are still bizarrely defending Kohberger. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer then joins to break down photos from Kohberger's apartment and office, exposing chilling details like stripped walls, blood traces, cleaning supplies, and bear spray — all pointing to a man meticulously trying to erase evidence while hiding his darkest secrets. In the second half, the show shifts to the devastating case of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro, allegedly killed by his father Jake — a man who had already been convicted of nearly killing another infant yet was allowed to walk free on probation. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins to analyze how America's child protection system repeatedly fails. The discussion unpacks everything from unqualified judges and underfunded CPS agencies, to the dangerous myth of “positive thinking” and assuming abusive parents can magically reform. The team digs into trauma bonds, why partners like Rebecca Haro stand by violent abusers, and how “low risk” labels and compliance checklists allow predators to slip through. Shavaun shares a haunting story from her own career — a child she warned was unsafe who was later killed after the court ignored expert testimony. This raw, unfiltered 2-hour show is part true crime breakdown, part systemic critique, and part call to action. It exposes not only the disturbing psychology of killers like Kohberger and Haro, but also the structural failures that keep enabling them.
